Dialogue / Khalid Abdul Ameer
Iraq has seen after the change in the stormy economic transformations in 2003 promised many observers and economists shy prosthetic procedures, is what made the national economy is suffering from depression and lethargy, particularly in the production sectors of the task.
(Range economic) interviewed Vice President of the Economic Committee in the House of Representatives ended its mandate reason for this deterioration and the challenges faced by the process of economic transition in Iraq.
* How would you rate the economic situation after the end of the mandate of the parliament and the government?
Economic transition in Iraq after 2003, the socialist system to a market economy, has been a leap confusing and ill-considered, what was called a socialist economy was under the control of the Authority and not state-controlled economy was hampered by three years of international economic sanctions imposed on Iraq as a result Adventures of the former regime, and where the consequences of political and security after 2003 as well as the negative stance of neighboring countries, which flooded the markets of Iraq's political intentions and sabotage as well as octopus administrative and financial corruption, which has extended its arms to all economic facilities, lack of adherence to standards and international laws, all of which to the closure of Iraqi factories and high unemployment rates to high levels and prevent Iraqi farmers from one product to the consumer, and stop all other production sectors.
But we in the House of Representatives outgoing accomplish many of the laws for the rehabilitation of the Iraqi economy and restore a normal situation of the various production sectors after years of neglect in order to promote the rate of the economy and the factors of development and make Iraq a country of the consumer to a producer, but in its infancy and there are a lot of Almarqlat that hinder the development the economic process, Vastefavat political and security situation and the serious corruption, are all hindered the process of construction, and economic laws for the organization of the Iraqi market has initiated and approved, and the hopes pinned on the activation of these important laws to contribute to advancing the national economy forward, it is not logical that income from oil (70) billion and $ (25%) of the Iraqi people living under the poverty line.
* Many of the economic laws are deliberately disrupted, the beneficiary of that?
We suffered a lot for one of those economic laws, and we were at the Economic Commission like soldiers fighting for the approval, but the delay is borne by the Presidency of the Republic, and the Presidency of the parliament, the Consumer Protection Act was vetoed by the Presidency of the Republic for reasons of style, and remained the law and going to hang among the Economic Commission and the Presidency of the parliament and the presidency, and the fact that the parliament and government were preoccupied with conflicts and political differences affected the performance, as well as the lack of a quorum, which has become a phenomenon to consider in most parliamentary sessions, but the Economic and stood strongly for approval, because they belong to the Iraqi people and not related to the discounts and political differences.
* Do you believe that the market economy is optimized for the current phase?
According to the Iraqi constitution, the socialist system had ended and was replaced by a market economy, but why is still not in sight so far has not come the desired results, it is because they Almstotherin power block to the success of economic transformation, from a monopoly market is the merchant, the merchant is one of the symbols Political Rights, which seeks to dump the Iraqi market with all kinds of shoddy products from different origins, but have agreements with companies this or that country, and not in their interest to stabilize the economic situation of Iraq.
While we appreciate the foreign assistance in our economic but they opened the doors and borders, imports and market saturation and Iraq's transition from a product to the consumer, Vowamr Bremer (Paul Bremer) introduced more than a million vehicles consuming Iraq under the pretext of a market economy, not to mention the terrorists to exploit this situation and bring them instruments of death and destruction to the Iraqi people, without supervision or control, so we adopted the Law of composting rate K, and will control the border, our freedom to determine the tally cauterizing composting rate on goods imported to the product support of Iraq, despite Our choice of a free market policy, but we must support sectors of industry, agriculture and livestock.
* Q: What is your assessment of the actions taken by the Government to upgrade the level of national production?
The government's efforts so far the efforts of weak and distressed, and there were significant obstacles, as well as the absence of the necessary technical expertise and, unfortunately, we can say that we have been in the middle of the road, did not keep in the former economic system did not recognize the economic laws of the new international economic order, and Iraq's industry was to of mass destruction, Factories are still disabled, the entire facility was left with only the land on which it built, we have a general contracting companies that returned the reconstruction of Iraq within two years after the destruction caused as a result of the second Gulf War (1991), these companies did not receive care and attention has not been processing equipment to maintain the necessary technical work, and is now the property of the obsolete equipment and consumer was supposed that these companies rebuilding Iraq, because of its expertise and efficiency in completing the work.
But recently we have a plan for economic reform made up of the parliamentary economic committee, the Economic Commission of the Council of Ministers (Council of Economic Advisors), and a group of United Nations experts, and we have a package of measures that will lead to economic reform The reason for the reluctance of the Iraqi economy, it is because the Iraqi government did not do anything as the executive, a link to a lot of business with the officials of neighboring countries, and Iwrgahm to see Iraq has become a product, in addition to that the Government had not the will of one party, but was the result of factional alliances are fragile, there was no resolution, however, because the designated authority each class party protects its minister who represents the corrupt government, there are four major political blocs in the appropriating authority, which are all responsible for rampant corruption and provide protection for the spoilers, so delayed the laws and neglected services, and the energy sector that is reliable in the management of the wheel of production were spent in large amounts did not touch the citizen of any improvement, and the energy sector reflected negatively on the production process, which is one of the reasons why Iraq is the product able to compete, do not forget the poor performance of the current parliament and its inability to adoption of laws, for example, the investment law, passed by more than three years, and did not do so Now, the Parliament is unable to perform its oversight role, do not deny what the security situation in the importance of the improved economic situation and give reassuring messages to investors.
We as politicians to join hands with us and to abandon the narrow view of our interests and moving towards the national interest and respond to the epidemic of serious administrative and financial corruption, and we have the right to ask where they can drain the Iraqi application of the laws and legislation on the ground?
There are three categories of competencies of Iraq, the first category related to the former regime fled from Iraq after the fall of the regime, the second category, which came to the kidnappings and killings by criminal gangs for the purpose of extortion or by regional parties do not want good for Iraq, the third category of competencies we put her bullet with a threatening letter in a sealed envelope in order to intimidate and get them to leave Iraq to take over his job and give it to relatives and affiliates, and so brought the people to manage quotas State facilities vital and sensitive do not understand something from nothing and do not have any status that qualifies them to occupy these positions, and what distinguishes them from others that they Party of the Minister or his relatives, with the quotas agreed upon and set in the Constitution are consensual and do not include quotas for degrees without a degree is a minister such as deputy ministers, directors general and advisers, and these scores must be from the owners of competence and experience to help the minister in the performance of his job.
* Q: Do you see the words (made in Iraq) again in the local markets?
When applied to competition law and antitrust, ending the problem of Iraqi industry, and another application of these laws, as I said they Almstotheron in power, who are an impediment to the growth of the Iraqi economy, the first problem, second problem is the energy availability and we all know the role of energy in a large wheel in the management of production, and the third problem skills and capital migratory If we recast these qualifications who are dispersed in various Arab countries and other world-class Iraqi products, we will see competition for imported if not the best of them, and we all know how efficient the product of Iraq and that there was evidence of counterfeit goods refrigerators and cookers bearing the names of Iraqi products to entice Iraqi consumer quality, and also in the field of reconstruction we do not need companies to build us roads or bridges, we were pioneers of reconstruction in the Middle East,
* Q: Is Iraq needs IMF loans and balance of this year (70) billion?
Is the power granted to the Minister of Finance, but I do not think he will exercise this authority to borrow for two reasons, first calculated the budget on the basis that a barrel of oil equivalent (60) dollars per barrel, whereas today a barrel of oil exceeded (80) dollars per barrel, this will save additional payments of more than (20) billion, and the second reason there are financial savings round of the previous fiscal year can close the deficit, and we do not encourage borrowing not only from the International Monetary Fund nor the other, and I think that in the first meetings of the next parliament will raise the recommendation to reject this the loan.
* Q: Do the laws of our commitment to prevent the World Trade Organization to support national production?
Can not end government support for any sector is important for the national economy needs support, even in the United States view the capitalist world and advocate of free market economy to support their farmers, as it did with farmers in the state (Nebraska), and as it did in its support for the producers of wood-Americans when the product U.S. to compete with Canadian producers, and this recent financial crisis has injected the United States and other Western countries, tens of billions to support the auto factories and real estate sector and preservation of collapse, why should not we support the Iraqi, a product that passes through the harsher conditions of the circumstances in which the product is over the west.
Iraq's and the product suffers from a lack of energy sources and high prices and high transport costs in addition to natural factors suffered by Iraqi farmer drought, desertification and other makes in dire need of care and support in order to raise the level of production to the degree of competition in terms of quality and price.
The Iraqi government began to support Iraqi farmer and agricultural initiative is proof of that, but the industry also had a slice of neglect, it must develop plans to ensure support for its importance in building the national economy, the reopening of the bank lending to industrial manufacturers, and to compensate the owners of affected plants result of military action and terrorist, and the public sector must support and provide modern technical equipment needed to sustain the work, for example, there are companies that have sold in the area of long-term reconstruction, which is owned obsolete equipment for more than a decade, these companies when they become productive will head to shareholders wanted Valmsahm to put money in the producer and not inert, and cost the state extra pay, has been developed for the Economic Reform Commission made several recommendations to support the productive sectors of the State is obliged to implement them.
* Q: How do you see the Iraqi economy with the next parliamentary session?
We are laying the foundations of civilization and culture in the world and is supposed to deal on this basis is sufficient to create excuses to create sectarian strife and racism, we are sons of one country, what good things we can all, and put an end to the corrupt and the corrupt, and do not accept foreign Bala sheets to impose its will against the Iraqi people which was not Our belonging to an Iraqi and not sectarian, I think that the next parliament will fall on his shoulders great responsibilities in accounting for muggers and the many re-billions to state coffers, and seek to implement the laws effectively or legislation approved new laws that the law is to reduce the separation between everyone not to be Simha hollow slogans of the Iraqi people, and foremost, we must re-building of Iraq from abroad, and provide them with functional titles, and I think that grades are available to them if we take the size of those false certificates or who do not deserve these positions must be screened and held accountable according to law.
